Dispositions From Convicts.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 29.-The dispositions
of Fred Witrock, alias Jim Cummings,
and w. W. Haight, in the case Of the
State vs.. Fotheringham, the Adams ex-
press messenger, who is accused of COM
plicity in the noted train robbery, were
taken at the penitentiary at Jefferson
City to-day. Haight's accounts Of his con-
nection with the robbery did not differ ma
terially from that given by him previously.
Witrock. however, in this his last story of
the affair, adds the rather sensational
statement hat after he had bound the
messenger in the car and secured the
booty, he offered Fotheringham $40, 0OOit
he would give the detective n false des-
cription of him the robberl. Fothering-
ham replied We'll. III see about it.
Send the money to j. J. Mappes, Kansas
City. Witrock, however. did not do so,
because, he says, Fotheringham was
scared into giving a good description OF
him.

Rumored Resignation of Secretary
Manning.

WAsHINdroN, Jan. 20 Secretary
Manning's attention was to-day called to
the published statement that he expects
to resign from the treasury to become the
head of q new bank in New York, and
IN expression was invited from him upon
the subject, because OF its great public
interest. The secretary replied hat he
had not been offered the presidency of
any such bank. The fact that several of
Manning's friends are among the organ
izers Of the proposed new bank, and that
a large number Of heavy subscriptions
for stock have been made contingent upon
Manning becoming president of it, gives
color to the rumors that he is to resign his
place in the cabinet in order to become
manager of the enterprise.

day practice, living in the country, my
hours varied from along about ? to A OF 5
p. m. An hour later usually found me
among my books or at my desk. Having
determined on trying the cocaine first, l
provided myself with a quantity of fluid
extract of the drug. This l placed within
ready reach. AT times my professional
duties of the day were of u more irksome

times / would earlier and more sensibly

In the course of several months use, L

about one drachm, or possibly n drachm
and a half, sometimes repeating the dose
during the night. l nave often left my
desk at near or quite a a. M, having been

Upon determining to quit the cocaine for
